Oprah Winfrey on Turning 70, Gratitude and How 'The Color Purple' "Changed Everything" | PEOPLE
/ people - บันเทิง
Wow Oprah looks stunning and healthy at 70. Congratulations to the queen. This is the best she's looked.
Agree
Hi queen
I agree ❤
Is she not GORGEOUS?!!
Totally 👍 ❤agree!
I can't believe she's turning 70; she has no idea how much she meant me to us over the years. She's my Maya Angelou ❤
Oprah is looking the best she's ever looked and at her most wise! I love when she said Maya told her she never knows what her legacy will be. That goes for all of us. We all will never know the people we will affect by our existence. The things we say and do can have an impact in ways we don't even realize.
Absolutely! 💯
❤
God bless you, Oprah.
Thank you for contributing to healing of the world
Oprah speaks so well. Powerful communicator ❤️
That's a understament! She is the BEST Comunicator in the world...her words penetrates our souls.
I can respect the fact she looks to spread light and hope in the process despite all (her) NEWfound naysayers
@@CrystalDatingCoachthink you meant she’s a beast !! chid trafficking beast .
Gratitude is the true key to fulfilled life.
Oprah reflects the life she has lived. Promoting positivity and raising us to show up as the BEST version of ourselves
Growing up in the 80's and 90's my mother fell in love with Oprah and so did I. She deserves every penny she's EARNEDd! We need another Oprah in these troubled times. She looks AMAZING. I am so grateful to her for touching my life. I ( along with the rest of America ) loved her and her show!
Hello beautiful👋🏻 how are you doing? how does it feel to be the most prettiest lady around here? Love your smile by the way I just wanted to say hi hope you’re having an amazing day🙌🏻🙌🏻😊
Oprah has spent about half of her life in the public eye. At each turn, you can feel the sincerity and see the conscientiousness she puts into all that she does. Seventy looks fabulous on her, and it’s wonderful to hear her words of wisdom.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh that Oprah! She is like everyone’s wise Auntie, warm, inspirational, and encouraging.
Oprah looks amazing. Can’t believe she’s approaching 70! Wow! So much she’s accomplished in the last 40yrs or so.
Thankful I attended the Girls Getaway cruise in 2019 and the previous tours.
She’s so inspiring, humble, anointed and appointed to do what she has done.
Can’t wait to see what she does next! 😊
Wow, Girls cruise, so nice for You
Yeah !❤
Am so happy for you !!!!!!!!
The best thing in life is to smiling faces of people !!!!!!
She makes me want to be a better version of me.
I hope she has another cruise, as I would love to go!! In fact, I've never been on a cruise! I did actually, thank God, attend her national tour in 2020, just before the pandemic was really hit! Oprah was magnificent! I didn't know she had such a great sense of humor!! She could do Late Night!! I would just want to attend for a future tour, just to have her make me laugh, and not necessarily regarding the topic.
She’s pretty pathetic to have to take Ozempic to be thin at 70 years old. 👎🏻
I love the legacy part. It means we all have a legacy to leave regardless whether we’re a celebrity, rich, poor, educated, not educated, etc. 🙌🏽
This interview has really inspired me more than I have been in a long time. I’m 53 and times these days have been very tough, I’m glad to be reminded that we all have legacies to leave. I hope I can still have time to do something significant with my life and that it’s not too late. Congratulations on turning 70 Oprah!!! We all need to be reminded that we are lucky to live for as long as we have, whether we are 7 or 70. The pandemic has shown us how fragile and precious our lives are. Let’s try to make something out of them and not waste away. 💕
WOW she looks fantastic. And she does NOT look 70 yrs old either. WOW. Just WOW.
Oprah looks absolutely gorgeous, so centered,so in her power,such a great image of female empowerment!!!
OPRAH Happy, Happy 70th Birthday! You are legendary and thank you for your grace by touching all of the many lives through the decades of your public life.
Super Soul Sunday has had a huge impact on me. I hope Oprah is continuing with that.
Oprah is a teacher. She has taught so many and as a result of Oprah's teachings, she has bettered millions of lives. She is an inspiration. She's humble and not afraid to show her imperfections. From red dirt roads in Miss to the top. She's is anointed.
Definetely betterd my life 🙏🏽
I love Oprah ❤I grew up watching her show with my mom and she changed my life. She was our therapy and healing when we couldn’t afford to go to therapy 🙏🏽
I've always followed her also we're birthday twins😅😅😅
How beautiful all in off white and those glasses suit her so well...I am grateful for what I have learned from her🙏🏽 wishing her many blessings.
Oprah & The Color Purple had a real effect on my life. I had never felt so strongly until I saw & felt Oprah’s performance in The Color Purple. Congrats to Steven Spielberg for creating The Color Purple movie. I am sure the new Color Purple will also be great.
Yes you did for me and for millions others including America's first black president and first black lady. You look great at 70. The best you've ever looked. Wow.
Whenever I hear Oprah share her story, I get the chills. What an incredible, authentic and astounding woman.
Amen!
Congratulations. Many more prosperous years in good health and wellness.
Hello 👋🏻
I enjoyed this interview more than anything I’ve seen since The Oprah Show ended. I’ve missed her.
I will never forget seeing Oprah on the cover of Runner’s World magazine after she ran a marathon. She inspired me to run which I’ve been doing for 30 years. During that time I’ve run 7 marathons including Boston. Thanks Oprah!
She looks FAB, wholeheartedly happy and content, but always aiming higher! Love her!
Phenomenal woman and I have learned alot from Oprah over the past 30 years ❤
70 never looked so good !!!! Happy Birthday Oprah !!!! 🌸🎂💕🌸🎂💕🌸🎂💕
Let me see her without make-up.
Wow this is profound!!! Oprah spoke from her heart. That really was profound. She hasn't aged a day since we used to watch her on TV, when we were growing up in Africa. She's truly blessed. God bless you with much more, Oprah
Oprah thank you for your wisdom that continues to inspire all of us. You are a true sprinkle of love and light.
I am your legacy Oprah! As a young girl watching you every afternoon in South Africa back in the mid 90’s, I would be so inspired, you sowed a seed in me 🤍
I literally just had this same thought. Wow. Oprah sowed a seed in me!. May the Lord cause it to come to pass. O for grace to accomplish what the Lord caused to be imparted unto us
Amen! It will sprout and bear fruit by His grace
I just love Oprah...she's led an amazing life and has helped billions around the world.
She also has such spirit along with her wisdom.
I've been in love with her since November 1989.
Thank you for staying healthy for the new generation, Oprah!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Oprah, for doing so many things to help heal the human condition. I am so glad you were born, that you endured, that you healed, and that you held your heart open to show others how to heal too. Count me in as one of your billion-person legacy! 💜
That Maya Angelou quote "Your legacy is every life you've touched" This has to be one of the sweetest things I've ever heard of. Oprah, thank you for sharing that ❤🙋♀️☯️
I am so grateful for what I learned from Oprah, her show gave me strength, empowered me to believe in myself, take my power back from my ex , for gave him and moved on as a single mother. Completed University, become a strong woman and I am every so grateful ❤Wishing her a very happy blessed beautiful birthday Xx
Oprah looks fabulous, and vibrant age 70! She is an awesome and amazing individual with her personal goals, and sharing her role models to the world.
I love you, Oprah. You're a devine woman, and I'm so blessed I had a chance to see you in person. 🙂💓
Omg were did the time go Oprah stop aging after 50. She looks Amazing !!
70...I have to sit down!! Oprah still looks amazing!! We have to protect this Queen and her legacy at all cost ❤👑
Wish she’d protected our Queen
Wow she looks amazing
Hello how are you doing
With her kind of wealth and luxury she should look good at 70. Unlike the rest of us where living a life just to survive ages you and wears you out.
Exactly, there's no excuse not to look good with all that money and resources.
Oprah your beauty always shine's beautifully
Love from Australia
She looks better in her 70’s than I do in my 40’s 🤣.
I don't know if you are taking care of yourself or not. But start taking care of yourself so you can look and feel healthy.
@@SURN2012 This was an uplifting and positive comment! Thank you!
Why wouldn't she with all that money to hire a personal trainer, specialty chefs, and the best doctors in the world. Not to mention the medication Ozempic that she stole from all the diabetics just so she can eat an entire ham at Christmas dinner and not gain a pound. Yeah, that's our Oprah....the selfish-phony narcissist.
And you are still a teacher Oprah ❤
Hello how are you doing
O wow. Time never waits does it? Oprah is 70. We celebrate you ma'am. You have gone through the earth, I call it a full moon turn. You experienced it all and you have never kept back from giving to your world. Cheers for always thinking about others, cheers for going all out even when it isn't convenient, that's the spirit and I embrace it today, I pledge to go on through the good and bad times and to always give back to people because that indeed is the greatest of it all. #legacy #oprah@70 #beautiful
She definitely brings a lot of Joy and more to most of Us including me.
I just adore this Human and am Grateful for her Contribution to our Human Experience.
Forever a Fan and some❤❤❤❤...
From one Diva to the next, you are awesome lady O, just the way you are. 70 looks great on you ❤❤
Oprah,
All the years that we have watched you struggle with your weight you look so amazing at age 70.
I have grown up with you, thank you for all of the lives that you have touched.
Praised be to God my God 🙏🕊🦋
Love you, Oprah! I have had several undeniable miracle moments like you described, about how Quincy Jones discovered you! Those life changing moments when you know it's the hand of God working with you! One time it was with your "Super Soul Sunday" show; you had a minister on your show and he talked about being touched by the Holy Spirit. Everything that he described was what I had experienced the night before. My eyes were wide open and I was stunned silent. I may not agree with everything you say (who agrees with any one person 100% of the time?), but I know God has blessed you, God is with you and you have been a blessing to millions of others!
Watched the original in 1990 in social studies class in Australia and it moved and changed me and my BFF. We still sing Miss Celie’s blues. One of the most impactful and profound movies ever. Everyone was outstanding but Oprah and Whoopi were on another level. I was kinda unsure about watching the remake as it was so perfect but if Oprah is a producer and we get more insight on the characters then I will give it a whirl. Thank you Oprah for moving me and inspiring me in so many different ways. ❤
I love this interview...Oprah looks fabulous!!..."Your legacy is every life you touch"....wow really so.ething to think about.
Love you mama O. Don’t know where I would be in my life had I not watched her show everyday after school from the time I was 12 until the show ended.
I cannot believe Oprah is turning 70... What a blessing 🙏🏽.
Oprah does not look a day over 50..thats what being a fantastic human being does to you. Keeps you youthful. She's touched my life for sure! Deepest gratitude for all the wonderful shows i watched.
You look great Oprah!! You look healthier, forget the haters! Without our health we cannot do anything!
She was/is a life coach before it was “in” to be such… she LITERALLY HAS TOUCHED/ELEVATED MORE LIVES THAN SHE WILL EVER REALIZE!!!
She was someone I could not wait to hear from after school ❣️❤️❣️
God bless you Oprah, for all of the lives, you have saved & bettered. I follow your theory too, starting & ending the day with thankfulness, Amen
I remember her turning 40…. I can’t believe it…she’s look stuuuuuning! She looks so young and energetic.
It was powerfully healing.
It was the forgiveness…
It was the power of letting go and letting love heal all things.
I’m so thankful.
I watched Spielberg’s version and I felt the strength of finding my voice and now I’m so grateful that I saw the rest of the story and found the closure and power of healing.
Those many moments of
- empowerment- when Celie dances in her shop, winning at life and making it through her darkest days, triumphant and in full joy of her accomplishments
- finding and experiencing care and love from another human being in Shug Avery
- reading the letters from her sister and finally being able to know that her sister was trying to tell her that she loved her
The moments around the tree
- seeing her grown children and finding closure with them and feeling that moment of all the hopes and dreams and love and celebration
- the forgiveness when the tormentor of her life walked over in humility and how her forgiveness was given a long time ago and how there was peace , just peace that she freely gave to him
So much gratitude for the story, so much gratitude for the writers, so much gratitude for the artist of each interpretation, so much gratitude for the producers…
So much gratitude for the teaching, connecting, the allowing for us to feel, the allowing for us to process, the allowing for us to see ourselves, the allowing for us to heal…
Thank you 🙏🏽 to all and to the universe/God for speaking and feeling through us
I love this woman! 😊
Beautiful and well spoken 👏....stay blessed Oprah ❤❤🎉
Can't believe my dear Oprah Winfrey will be 70. There isn't a SINGLE Oprah Show I haven't seen at least twice. Thats 4500 x 2!!! She has been my role model as long as I can remember! 💕

Hello
Wake up
Love you, Miss Oprah thank you for everything you’ve given of yourself
Great interview!
I love to listen to Oprah looking back at her life. The Color Purple most certainly changed her life and will continue to touch people with the latest version. I can't believe that Steven Spielberg and Oprah kept this story alive for so long. 💜
My love and gratitude for you is endless because you are really that person that motivated me big time. Everything you talked about in your shows when people around the world were not talking about , but you did. so you get it why i have so much gratitude for miss O. I am from the Netherlands in Europe, you catch my drift, Click!
She bring memories of someone in my childhood when celebrations and happiness were driven from small things. Oprah is the emotion speaker and wisdom!
